Welcoming a Boy or Girl??

When Rob and I first found out we were expecting we were so excited to have another surprise baby. We loved the waiting and the unknowing until we were in the hospital. But, as weeks went by, my mind was going crazy. We let the 20 week appointment pass until we could decide if we were going to find out what we were having. My mind couldn't let go of the fact that we have ALL girl stuff. And me being me, the planner and crafter, I was starting to stress that I NEEDED to know what we were having.
So, it brought me to a new idea that I had seen on photography boards. I wanted to do something different and fun. Yes, ultrasounds are fun... but I wanted something different, something I could photograph and share a story later. So here is our story at 26 weeks and expecting our forth baby into the family!

Wondering what in the world are we having??? Boy or Girl??? The family was pretty split, mom and dad had some strong feelings that this was a boy because I have been feeling so well. But lately there were sign pointing to a girl. Jackson was "talking" to my belly and the baby said "I am a girl, name me Lisa." Hmmm weird... but moments later the baby was a boy again :) So I couldn't hold much thought onto that one :) I have been eating very healthy, just until the last two weeks when Rob kept asking for homemade goodies. I thought this was a sign... sweet tooth in our house has always been a girl. So, maybe this is a girl and Kynnlie will have that sister is so close in age they share clothes.


Off to the ultrasound to receive our envelope with the gender revealing inside!!! At the ultrasound I "see" that its a boy. She reasurres me that, that is the umbilical cord. During the ultrasound she slips up and says "aww look at HER hand." Rob and I both catch it and wonder.... did she just really say that??? We go ALL weekend with this sealed envelope in the car, knowing that we can't peak or we will ruin our surprise.
We had the envelope over to Tiffany and Keith and they head inside to fill up our box with balloons. What ever balloons come out of the box with tell us what our forth addition to this growing family will be! The kiddos wait patiently for the box to come back outside to find out if they are having a brother or sister!
Hurry, hurry open that box.... what are we having!!!
ITS A BOY!!!!
Overfilled with Joy and shock that we are welcoming a boy into our family. Jackson is very excited to "have a brother to beat up on Kynnlie and Rylie". :)
There you have it! The middle of June we will be welcoming another little boy into our wonderful little family!!!
